The lnml Ib nllnsng with sales of

groat multitude observes a fashion
writer. Have you ever tried to buy
lingerie during spaces between these
Hales of white? And have you mot
discouragement because there was so
little choice? Well the lesson learned
by experiences of this sort Is to wan-
der forth at the white time of year
and to do your buying then for you
will find the wares of the world ilro-
Bonted for your selection.
The materials now are Inferior to
those of some years ago. Now we see
blooming under the $.'1.98 sign post an
array that would have formerly been
relegated to the basement. The deal-

ors have nnnounced that they nre push-
ing domestic underclothes because of
the scarcity of French and Philippine
stocks and so we see cotton crepes
nnd muslins or none too dninty a qual-
ity and our Imaginations picture the
thickness of them as we perforce
bid goodbye to the thin silk and muslin
surfaces to which our pampered skins
have become accustomed.
Fine Apparel Expensive.
However once the situntlon has been
studied we find that we need not at
once join the ranks of the wearers of
heavy muslin underwear unless we be
60 Inclined. There nre ways to dodge
nround these counters of thicknesses
nnd paths that lead to more attractive
displays though the result brings ever
the Inevitable conclusion that much
money is needed for a respectable look-
ing wardrobe.
The chiffon and silk lingerie Is more
daintily made than ever before nnd
more originally conceived. But It looks
ns though the fine French underwear
made of dainty nainsook or handker-
chlc linen were wedging Its way to
the foremost ranks. During tlie war
we were deprived of this type of un-
dergarment but It Is after all the
most nttrnctlve sort of lingerie nnd
slowly but surely It Is marching to
leadership. More Importations are be-
ing mndo every day. One buyer of
French lingerie made the stntement
that the French were repeating their
former achievements nnd that they had
no -thought for anything new. Well
Colors Become
The colors of the new underthlnS
become more and more vnrled. The
tradition of white for purposes of this
sort has almost vanished. Now nny
pnstel shade is used and the more un-
usual It Is the better. Wo have wen
tho outer effects of black and red nnd
orange underclothes nnd marvelled at
them but. nevertheless we hnve set-
tled back Into n casual acceptance of
colored underwear ns an everyday pos-
sibility. In chiffon and in crepe do
chine nnd satin the colors vary through
all tones nnd similes and even In the
cotton materials' there Is seen every
vnrlety of tone.
On the tinted underclothes there Is
much use of embroidery In silk threads.
In woolen threads In mercerized
stitches and even In colored cotton em-
broidery stitch lugs. It Is considered
much better to form nn edge by n but-
tonholing of some contrasting shado
than to resort to the old method of
Just making n hem. Then there nro
tho long woolen stitches which Bhow
to their best advantage on tho thin
chiffon things.
If the pure delicacy nnd charm cannot
be Improved upon then we are thank-
ful enough for the things as they ex-
ist 1
Among the ninny bridal trousseaus
that have been purchased during tho
last live months muslin undergarments
have held the vote of popularity. Silk
things there have been of course (they
nre too beautiful to be Ignored) but
the thin muslin and linen things Intri-
cately handmade have received new
attention so tlie dealers In these things
sny.
Lace In the Limelight.
Lace Is being used more and inoro
conspicuously for underclothes. You
will say that this has been done since
the beginning of things but this now
lace is of wide bands and Is usvd In
grent abundance. One sees the llnor
torts of handmade laces Inserted In
mednllions on the new undergarments.
There nre lace pnnels for chemises;
lnce edgings live six and seven Inches
In depth put on In slightly milled
llouncings ; rnl lace to;is for camisoles
and chemises; lace sleeves and yokes
for night dresses; lace In every con-
ceivable usnge.
In fact the newer night drosses are
so elaborately done and so bedecked
with wide and expansive trimmings of
lace that one can scarcely distinguish
them from the prevalent negligees.
There nro linen night frocks trimmed
with Irish lnce and laces of other ex-
pensive and real varieties. One had
n yoke and sleeves of Chnntllly with a
wide band to make the hem of tho
garment. It was as beautiful as any-
thing which has ever been shown In
the wny of lingerie nnd surely marks
a return to the lingerie that wns done
In the trousseaus of our grandmothers.
Tho silk nnd chiffon nlghtclothes
hnve not diminished In beauty nor In
quantity nnd In spite of the fact that
we hear how scarce these materials
have become there seems to be every
evidence of plunty of silken under-
clothes for those who can afford them.
A new set of chiffon underwear was
trimmed with satin bindings of nnr-
row ribbon pinched over the edges nnd
mnny streamers of the same color of
ribbon (the sets were made In mnny
colors) streaming from the plnces
where the ribbon was used to tie tho
garments Into place
Absence of Buttons.
There seems to be a welcome ab-
sence of buttons on nil of the newer
underwear. More and more the de-
signs nppenr with rubber bands nnd
loosely tied ribbons to hold them In
their proper positions. The ensler they
are to wear the less will we resent
the cost.
Tailored underwear has come Into
favor recently nnd there Is In con-
sequence much of that variety of un-
derwear to be seen. There Is much
to be said In its fnvor for there are
many women who In the dally course
of Uielr lives cannot stop to fuss with
ribbons and laces nnd rosebuds. Still
they cling to that tendency which Is
their right the love of dninty soft
nnd luxurious underwear. It Is there
that the tailored silk underwear comes
Into Its own.
Following the pnttcrn of the single
piece men's underwear there have been
some things like this designed for
women's wenr nnd they have won a
renl response. They nre made of fine
qunlltles of silks and wash satins In
white or In llesh colpr and they have
never n (lower nor n furbelow to be-
deck them. Then there are bloomers
vWilch have proved beyond doubt the
strength of their hold upon the femi-
nine mnsses. They nre useful for wear
with tight skirts which to look their
best demnnd Hint petticoats be thrown
Into the discard. Tho bloomer hns
come to stay and In silk. It Is nn In-
dispensable part of tho wardrobe of
the modern woman.
More Varied
From underwear to negligee Is but
a slip nnd It does seem ns though we
nre paying more nttcntion to tho grace-
ful and becoming robes d'lnterleur
which so long have been n necessary
part of the wardrobe of n French wo-
man. Never before hnve wo shown
such Interest In the gowns which nro
for private appearance only.
The lines of the new negligees nro
simple enough but the trimmings grow
more gorgeous ns one soiihoii melts In-
to another. On the newest ones there
nre layers of chiffon so constructed
that the things look only like floating
clouds. 12 very trick nnd scheme Is re-
sorted to thnt tho gnrment may be
lightness Itself. Lace Is used lavishly.
Sometimes It constitutes the oerdress
nnd then again It Is used for tho foun-
dation slip so thnt only n suggestion
of Its loveliness shines through tho
overlaying chiffon. Silk lnce trims the
edges of other chiffon negllgeos being
carried around the long lines of the
outer edges and giving the effect of
something not qulto tangible In Itw
eluslveness.

Special Care of Baby.
That Bnby should have a bed of its own all are agreed. Yet it
is more reasonable for an infant to sleep with grown-ups than to use
a man's medicine in an attempt to regulate the delicate organism of
that same infant. Either practice is to be shunned. Neither would
be tolerated by specialists in children's diseases.
Your Physician will tell you that Baby's medicine must bo
prepared with even greater care than Baby's food.
A Baby's stomach when in good health is loo often disarranged
by improper food. Could you for a moment then think of giving
to your ailing child anything but a medicine especially prepared
for Infants and Children ? Don't be deceived.
Make a mental note of this: It is important Mothers that
you should remember that to function well the digestive organs of
your Baby must receive special care. No Baby is so abnormal that
the desired results m"y be had from the use of medicines primarily
prepared for grown-ups.

I HE WANTED IT RUBBED
Congressman Evidently Was Not Sat-
isfied With Knowing Himself to
Be a Fool.
A wcnlthy western congressman
says the Argonaut much against his
will erected a mngnlllcent mansion In
Wnshington to please h's wife nnd
daughter. The congressman was of
plain tastes and had no liking for the
social activities of the national cap-
ital. One day on old friend visited
lilm. AVenrlng n fnce of the deepest
gloom the owner of the stntely home
escorted his caller throughout the
place. The visitor was admiring nnd
enthusiastic but the host said little
or nothing. When the Inspection was
finished and the two had returned to
tho library on the first floor the vis-
itor said:
"Well Jim you certnlnly can't say
that you haven't everything that you
wnnt."
"Yes I can" replied the millionaire
soberly; "I wnnt a parrot."
"Why n parrot?"
'T should like to hang him over the
front door so thnt every time I enter
this place he can yell out 'There
comes that old fool again!'" Youth's
Companion.
To Be Expected.
"I Kce where Gnbbem died verj sud-
denly. Wns It due to tho hent?"
"It was In a way. He kept asking
people If It was too hot for them."
